Loma got $1.2 mill

That was more than fair for Rigo. He was fighting on undercards and loma gets big ratings. Also 4x what Rigo made his last fight

He made Loma Rigo, he made Crawford Gamboa when Gamboa ran to Sms promotions, he made Pacquiao DLH, Pac Mayweather, Cotto left and came back, when it comes to making money Arum will make a fight, why are you making excuses for Mikey Garcia

Couldn’t care less about Garcia, Arum has a history of being difficult once a fighter leaves him, all those fight tha you named were made after such difficulties with Arum. Arum can hold a grudge when he wants to.

Bobfather just made Loma vs Rigo and these anti-Arum fanboys are at it again.
Leo Santa Cruz called out Rigo a thousand times
and when Dela Hoya tried to make the fight
Haymon bought LSC's remaining contract with GBP.
These biased Haymon fanboys said nothing.
As if Haymon is any better. He's worse.
Look at the fights that are supposed to be made in the SHO/Haymon camp, but are not getting made.
There's no Arum to deal with, yet they seem impossible to get made.

Yup!!! He will sit you and wont give you any fights if you get on his bad side. His extension after extensio is BS loop where your never free. He ruined the Chavez GGG fight when we all wanted that one. *** Arum.

And that was 1000x less work as well.

Then enlighten us as to why his resume is anything special. Enlighten me to how his resume isn't full of tiny no hopers & guys coming off hortible losses,yrs inactivity etc. He fought 4 a gift wbo title in his 1st fight ffs vs a fw bum. He lost it to salido then was allowed to refight for the same exact belt vs another inactive midget in russel. Lomas ENTIRE resume would be schooled by Broner ffs. Loma is the biggest hypejob since ggg bar none.

Really?did you really post this?
Have u ever know a boxer who gets his second belt in 7 fights?
Have you ever know a boxer who only in 11 fights, fight more than 5 champhion/ex champion?
Ow ****...i think you forget that dont you?...hahahaha

I know you are using sarcasm but...

48 year old? Don't be ridiculous, he was "only" 37... and he had only 18 professional fights, he was practically untouched before this fight, never ever got into a war with no one, so in terms of wear and tear his real boxing age was similar to Loma's, less than 30 IMHO.

122 lb midget??? On fight night, Lomachenko weighed 137.4 pounds and Rigondeaux weighed 130 pounds. Which IS NOT even close to 122 pounds, and Rigo looked 100% in shape, very muscular. Same as the bigger Loma. Yes, Loma had a big advantage in size, but he was fighting no midget, because that midget was capable of KOing anyone else, at that weight, except Loma himself.

I am a fan of both Loma and Mikey, but I think being angry would, if anything, make Mikey lose more than win, specially vs. a guy so annoyingly mobile and unpredictable, that a real, real cool head and keeping calm, is very necessary to try and figure out how to decipher the puzzle. Mike has never ever confronted anyone even remotely close as difficult as Lomachenko.

Loma made it look easy and hindsight is always 20/20, but how many people said Rigo would KO Loma or at least put a beating on him? And now they are all quiet...

My bad for sending you red k,I know u don't care about that but just wanted to let u know it was an accident.

[Don Mac]

I like Garcia for similar reasons I like Crawford. Both very humble guys who respect their sport.
Old toad Arum took away Garcia's career as it was entering its prime, so we shd applaud Garcia getting back to the top

[aboutfkntime]

I cannot believe some of the ******ed shht that I have read in this thread

actually, I think I will leave it

it is TOO ******ed to even bother

[sterilizer]

My bad for sending you red k,I know u don't care about that but just wanted to let u know it was an accident.

I do care, even more so because you wrote "dumb ass fanboy" next to it, and 1) I am not a dumb ass 2) I am not a fanboy. I am not even a guy! So please if it is possible, do remove that **** if you can I mean if it really was an accident!
